Cha Cha Cha! Tropical Bridal Shower Ideas You’ll Love
Palm leaves, greenery, pineapples and lots of color make this Tropical Bridal Shower one that the bride to be will love!
Palm leaves and pineapples are always in style during the summer. However, this tropical bridal shower is anything but ordinary, with the pops of color and creative design elements.
Party Details!
Guests are greeted with tropical fern green leaf leis and signature drinks, a tropical mimosa bar! Palm leaf bar sign designates the bar area. These chic colorful plastic cups are perfect for outdoor entertaining and include different color pineapple drink charms so no one mixes up their drink.
Create a festive vignette to serve your food by adding paper lanterns, garland, and lanterns. Have food displayed and décor displayed at varying heights to draw the eye in and make an interesting design. Love this table top tent from Oriental Trading, which shades the food from the sun while adding a unique design element.
Tropical Party Food Ideas
Guests enjoyed small bites such as tropical fruit cups with drink umbrellas, mini chocolate moose flower cakes, coconut and chocolate covered cookies, and vanilla butter cream dirty iced cake!
How Create A Tropical Table Setting
Create an eclectic tropical table setting by layering a pineapple Turkish towel over a white linen and then adding several pieces of chinaware. Play up the gold and white by using gold chargers from Oriental Trading’s wedding collection, white dinner plates, gold foil pineapple dessert plates from Via Blossom, gold and white palm leaf candles with a pineapple scent, gold geometric terrariums filled with succulents, and gold calligraphy table number.
Use palm leaf placemats and layer them under the dinner plates for a punch of color! Mixing and matching napkin linens pulls together the eclectic relaxed vibe and adds interest to the overall table design. Playing on greenery we used magnolia leaves and gold calligraphy from LJ Design Co. for place cards and large green palm leaves from Pottery Barn Kids as a table runner.
Lounge Area
Adding a lounge area to any party makes guests feel relaxed and provided another vignette to your overall party design. Lanterns, flowers, plants, and festive pillows can easily transform a space. We love how our DIY hibiscus and confetti pineapple turned out, which makes a festive centerpiece!
Tropical Party that transitions from day to night!
A sign of a good party is one where guests want to stay and relax. By adding strings of lights, candles, and lanterns you can easily create an event design that’s festive and perfect for enjoying the night with friends!
How fun are these tiki torches and colored lanterns that line the steps?! We added a pop of color with paper lanterns, greenery and tassel garland to the bistro lights above the dinning table.
